Chapter 55: Suddenly
"You've come to have a good life and I have a total total,"
The head of the king couldn't help but greet loudly.
"What should we do next?"
"Our military Zi should be raised more or less on the spot."
It's just that when Zhou Huai'an habitually used his farsighted eyesight to look at these garrison rebels in the city, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
The rebels stationed at the head of the city must have been too healthy and strong; You must know that in addition to the old troops near Guangzhou City, all kinds of homeless and poor people who were coerced and recruited along the way were the norm and part of this huge number of rebel troops.
At least after seeing the new soldiers in his battalion and the unrighteous soldiers along the way, he knew at least one of the most basic things; After a long period of hunger, cold and displacement, the weakness and emaciation caused by the body cannot be compensated for by simply eating a few days of full food.
It's not those YY novels that can transform the road and starvation that can fall when the wind blows and transform them into brave warriors who are not afraid of death; Nor is it the red army of later generations who only relied on the great ideals and beliefs of saving the country and liberating the toiling masses as the spiritual pillar, and relied on the tired and weak feet to complete the 25,000-mile journey in the midst of incomparably cruel tribulations and tests.
And it is rare to have a righteous army in such a good physical condition, even in the Angry Wind Camp, it is a minority of the core foundation, only seen in those old soldiers from Henan, but here it is just used to guard the city.
Then Zhou Huai'an's face suddenly changed slightly, because he saw that there seemed to be faint mottled blood stains on the people behind the battlements, coupled with the news that the neighborhood had been safe and sound, he couldn't help but become extremely suspicious.
"Wait."
He couldn't help but pat his horse forward, found the head of the general Wang Pan who was preparing to enter the city with his men, grabbed his horse's head and turned around
"General Wang, I think something is wrong."
"Let's go back a bit."
At this time, in Zhou Huai'an's amplified hearing, a strange whistling sound suddenly flashed, and then he caught a glimpse in the corner of his eye, and the little crystals flashed in the air; Somebody reflexively jumped off the horse, and according to the instinctive reflexes and experiences developed in Africa to avoid conflict, he flew to the other side of the saddle, a nearby cover that could be found.
However, the others did not have such good luck and opportunities, and in an instant, they saw that those fleeting crystal bright spots had turned into trembling tail feathers and splashed blood flowers inserted in the nearby soldiers, and the screams and cries of pain that followed exploded in the air.
And the head Wang Pan, who was originally riding on the horse, suddenly disappeared, and when Zhou Huai'an rediscovered his figure and voice in a crowd of people turning over on his horse, he saw that his helmet was gone, and the bun that was loosened was draped over his shoulders; His mount fell to the ground with a few arrows and screamed and struggled to get up, but it also held down one of his legs, and the king, who had half of his body dragged down in the dust, looked particularly embarrassed.
Zhou Huai'an stepped forward without thinking, and the blade of the knife stabbed upwards at the fallen horse, and the dying and struggling mount in the pain of blood splashing couldn't help but twitch and jump a few times, and let Wang Pan take the opportunity to pull out the legs and feet that were pressed, but he had become limping and bad.
"Monk Niangdi, you saved my life."
Then, before he could finish speaking, he heard a scream from the open gate, which shook the sky, and roared out a cavalryman with a helmet and armor. And the crowd of people who were waiting in front of the door with flags abandoned these covers and drew their shining blades one after another and pounced viciously, and approached not far away.
"Good thief"
"It's an official dog."
"Hurry up and escort your head back."
The last sentence was shouted by Zhou Huai'an with all his strength, and at the same time, he kept pushing Wang Pan onto his little green horse, although he was also hit by an arrow, but it was shot on the saddle of hardwood foreskin.
So, in the panicked uproar on the left and right, the remaining people who could still stand finally reacted, hurriedly dragged the injured Wang Pan and others, and together with Zhou Huai'an, who was leading the horse, pulled their legs and ran towards the side and back.
And those attackers who came out of the city also chased and killed them in the smoke and dust, and finally crashed into the first batch of rebel soldiers who came to rescue and intercept.
Zhou Huai'an also had time to turn his head sideways and flick the corner of his eye, and saw those soldiers of the righteous army who were brave but scattered, and they were scattered and trampled on the tragic scene of the past.
At this moment, the brigade in the rear was a little unresponsive and sluggish, because most of the soldiers felt that the county town was in sight, and they couldn't wait to rush forward, which caused the originally elongated brigade to be somewhat scattered.
The first to be attacked was the left sub-battalion that was a little earlier, although Captain Lin Ziquan with the card knife team as the backbone struggled to resist and block for a while; But the others, many more who had never seen the battle formation, were scattered and fled after a moment of facing the enemy, and they disrupted the order that those who had fallen behind, and tried to maintain order.
As a result, they only supported this point for a moment, and then they were washed away and scattered again, and they fell into the dust one after another, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead; However, the little time they had gained before their defeat finally allowed the second formation to catch up with the most powerful central battalion, and to make some reactions and countermeasures in a hurry;
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of heavy or light hands being knocked over, and the crisp cracking of hastily raised spears being broken and broken; It was like a rampaging torrent encountering a heavy piece of cardboard, although it was crumbling and collapsing into it, some enemy horses were finally blocked and intercepted, and the momentum of the opponent's impact was slowed down.
At this time, the enemy from the city on foot also followed, and went straight along the several gaps opened by the cavalry, and tore the group of soldiers fighting against the middle battalion again, and turned into a melee situation.
For a while, blood splashed and people kept falling between the blades, and people were constantly being pushed and congested by the forces from the front and back, left and right, like a large mass of irregular blood smeared and infiltrated, stirring and stirring in the crowd, constantly harvesting and taking away lives and leaving behind piles of corpses.
At this time, the group of people guarding the head of Wang Pan, together with Zhou Huai'an, who was running wildly, finally bypassed the flank of the middle battalion in the melee, and joined up with the left sub-battalion led by Captain Lu to make a place, and began to resume part of the command function.
And Zhou Huai'an was able to slowly stabilize and calm down, because of the sudden outburst and some overloaded body. At this time, he found that there seemed to be an option in his invisible vision;
It is not only possible to consume these accumulated energy to gradually eliminate the excessive use of lactic acid and other negative effects accumulated by the body, or to use these energy to temporarily stimulate the body and organs to achieve a large proliferation of hemoglobin and adrenaline, and bring about the relative effect of explosive strength and speed response in a short period of time.
Well, he couldn't help but sigh that in the process of escaping on the battlefield, he could also get a special ability bonus that is very useful for running away in the future.
However, the earth-shattering sound of fighting in front of him drew his attention back to reality; This is because the headquarters of the Central Battalion, which was fighting a chaotic battle with the enemy, also showed signs of being unable to support itself and began to retreat one after another.
I only saw those cold weapons fighting with swords and swords to the flesh, compared to the firearms that Zhou Huai'an had seen in a lively fight, but there was another simple and heavy cruelty; The person who is swept and engulfed in the battlefield is like a wanderer, and he can't help but become a number symbol that has been crushed.
Once again, he was glad that he had chosen the logistical route, and was able to stay away from this dangerous and cruel hustle and bustle for the time being. Of course, there was nothing he could do about it in this mess.
At the same time, Wang Pan, who returned to the left sub-battalion of the third formation and initially regained his command ability, finally began to play his functions and roles as the commander of the first battalion; As he began to dispatch his troops and give orders, he began to divide his battalion into several groups to intercept the enemy cavalry and skirmishers who had bypassed the frontal melee.
And with the remaining archers shouting loudly and concentrating on the support and response of the central battalion, the battle was already on the verge of collapse. However, Zhou Huai'an, who secretly let go of his scanning ability, also noticed one thing;
As a rather experienced rebel general, he always seems to be able to quickly discover the weaknesses and protrusions of the enemy in the melee, and in the breakthrough and attack of the division of troops again and again, he constantly recovers the decline of his own entanglement, or holds back the momentum of the enemy army that rushes and fights.
It's just that this kind of battlefield sense and experience judgment in the form of improvisation, but I don't know what kind of price and sacrifice we have to pay in order to achieve results. Then, to Zhou Huai'an's surprise, after stabilizing his position with the support of the left sub-battalion, the set of simple flags he wrote also began to come in handy among the soldiers who had been broken up and separated by the central sub-battalion.
As the orders became more and more skillfully conveyed, after pressing with all their might from the left, the enemy who had been fighting for a long time began to appear a certain decline and weakness, and gradually tried to shrink the range of engagement, and those enemy horsemen who were caught in the crowd also began to try to turn around...
"All here, thief."
Another batch of shouts that Zhou Huai'an was familiar with finally sounded behind them.
Then I saw a forest of waving flags, swept in the smoke and dust that covered the sky not far away.
